The Deuteronomy passage, known as the Shema, calls us to "love God with all our heart, soul, and might." In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus repeated the Shema, as being the most important commandment, and then added second commandment, "to love your neighbor as yourself."

The Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5, are not commandments bur rather a description of what is good, or "blessed," in God's eyes.
